Author introductions are always the perfect way to begin a Bloom study. You get a candid glimpse of the person behind the words, before she starts walking with you through her book. It’s the next best thing to sharing a cup of coffee (or tea) with her face to face.

Today meet Annie Downs, author of Let’s All Be Brave and long-time (in)courage contributor. To know her is to love her!

We’ll be back Thursday with our first book discussion hosted by Jessica and Angie. To stay on pace with us, be sure to read:

An Honest Moment (pp. 17-22)

Just Start (pp. 23-34)

Believe (pp. 35-48)

Between now and then, why not invite your friends to join Bloom for our fall study? There’s plenty of time to pick up a book and read through the first three chapters. Also, be sure to share your initial thoughts with your social media circles; when you tag your updates with #inbooks and @incourage, we can find ’em.

Your Bloom To-Do List:

Grab a copy of Let’s All Be Brave (it’s on sale at DaySpring) and read through the third chapter.

Like theBloom Facebook Page; this is different from our Bloom Book Club Group. Here, you’ll see #inbooks-related posts before and after we’ve completed a study.

Join the Bloom Facebook Group for Let’s All Be Brave; get to know other readers and discuss the content of each week’s videos. I’ll be closing entry to this group on Monday, October 20. You’ll always be able to engage and comment on each bi-weekly post and on our Facebook Page, but you won’t be able to gain access to the group once it’s closed.

Thank you so much for my sponsored copy of ‘Lets All Be Brave’.
This is very much appreciated and restores a link with other Christians in a Christian study which I have sorely missed due to being unable to attend church or church studies. This has been and is till the case due to ill health.
